When fix and wash times can be extended the 

maximum amount of HYPAM HARDENER needed 

to achieve fully hardened films is 1 part to 40 

parts working strength HYPAM i.e. 24 ml per litre. 

100 DELTA PROFESSIONAL

 

 

 

ILFORD RAPID FIXER and ILFORD ILFOFIX II must 

not be used with fix hardeners as they are not 

compatible with them. If a fix hardener is required 

then only ILFORD HYPAM fixer can be used. Add 

ILFORD HYPAM HARDENER to turn HYPAM  into 

a hardening fixer. 

 

Generally for most applications modern camera 

films are sufficiently hardened at manufacture. 

Additional hardening from a fixer hardener is not 

usually needed or recommended for processing in 

spiral tanks, dishes/trays, deep tanks, rotary 

processors, dip and dunk (hanger) machines and 

short leader card processors, unless the 

processing temperature is above 30ºC (86ºF), or 

poor drying performance is being experienced. 

To minimise the risk of physical damage a fixer 

hardener may be needed when using a roller 

transport film processor. 

 

Using a fix hardener will require the 

recommended fix and wash times to be extended. 

Depending on the film and processing conditions 

the hardened fix time will be between 4 and 10 

minutes and the subsequent wash time 10–20 

minutes in running water. 

 

The amount of HYPAM HARDENER that can be 

added to the fixer is dependant on the film and 

process conditions used. In some processors the 

full amount of hardener cannot be used as the fix 

and wash times cannot be extended adequately. 

In these circumstances we recommend starting 

with the minimum amount of hardener to have 

some effect. This is around 3–6 mls of hardener 

per litre of working strength HYPAM used. This 

increases the film hardness slightly but has a 

negligible effect on the fix and wash efficiency. 

When fix and wash times are restricted the 

maximum amount of HYPAM HARDENER 

recommended is 10–20ml of hardener per litre of 

working strength HYPAM used. This higher 

amount gives a definite increase to the hardness 

of the films processed and while fixing and 

washing efficiency are reduced the films will be 

adequately fixed and washed for most purposes. 

 

 

To avoid drying marks, use a clean squeegee or 

chamois cloth to wipe 100 DELTA Professional film 

before hanging it to dry. Dry 100 DELTA 

Professional at 30–40ºC/86-104ºF in a drying 

cabinet or at room temperature in a clean dust- 

free area. 

 

Store 100 DELTA Professional in a cool (10–

20ºC/50-68ºF), dry place in its original 

packaging. 

 

Once exposed, process 100 DELTA Professional as 

soon as practical. Images on exposed but 

unprocessed film will not degrade for up to several 

months when stored as recommended. 

 

Store processed negatives in a cool (10–

20ºC/50-68ºF), dry place, in the dark. 

Suitable storage sleeves include those made of 

cellulose triacetate, Mylar or paper (pH 6.5–7.5) 

or inert polyester.
